What to do with Alias?

I just got a new external hard drive and it was connected to my
when i was just deleteing photos that i didnt need anymore. note that the photos were not transfered to my external HD or anything, the photos didnt touch the External HD at all. I deleted the photos and they were in the trash bin (that was not emptied yet)
i then ejected and disconnected my external HD and put it away. later i emptied the trash bin without the external HD connected.
today i noticed that the files were still in my "All My Files" folder! they are like ghost files shown below:
I tried deleting them, didnt work. moving them, didnt work, pretty much everything. restarting, secure empty trash etc. when i click on these files i get this message
when i press delete alias, the same popup returns, when i okay, the popup goes away and nothing happens
and when i press fix alias, it opens a popup to search for the parent file. (which is totally deleted btw)
i have no idea what to do, the "ghost" files are very frustrating and actually take up a bit of memory.
WHAT DO I DO?

UPDATE
the solution has been found
just keep the window with the files open while you go to spotlight on the top right corner of your screen.
start writing in the names of the files that are "ghosts" and the files in the window will start to dissapear.
strange solution, but it works!

  • What's wrong with my XPath statement using dom4j?

    I'm pretty new to XML. However, I did pick up a book and I'm pretty much through it. I got a copy of dom4j and I created a sample XML file. I'm able to parse the data and find out the child elements of root but I'm having problems with using XPath no matter what I do. Here's my code:
    import org.dom4j.*;
    import org.dom4j.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class XMLACL {
      org.dom4j.Document doc;
      org.dom4j.Element root;
      XMLACL(String x) {
        String tempFile = System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/winsudo.xml";
        tempFile = tempFile.replace('\\', '/');
        SAXReader xmlReader = new SAXReader();
        try {
          doc = xmlReader.read(tempFile);
        catch (Exception e) {}
        root = doc.getRootElement();
        //treeWalk();
        //iterateRootChildren("grant");
        XPath xpathSelector = DocumentHelper.createXPath("/grant[@prompt='no']");  
        List results = xpathSelector.selectNodes(doc);
        for (Iterator iter = results.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
         Element element = (Element) iter.next();

  • Login to EP either with Alias name or user id.

    Hi All,
    We need to allow the users to login to the portal either with the user alias or userId.
    We have installed portal on dual stack & UME is on ABAP stack. All user details are getting stored in ABAP data base .
    I enabled login with alias by adding the option "LogonWithAlias" with the value "true" to the BasicPasswordLoginModule under 'BASIC" Authentication in the Security Provider service  of the J2EE Engine Visual Administrator.
    Now it allows the user to login only with the 'Alias'. I just need to know is there anyother parameter options to be added to allow the login with both alias and username.
    Also tell me about the flags to be set.
    Expecting your valuable inputs.
    Thank You.
    Regards,
    Eben.

    Hi Michael Shea ,
    Thank you for your helpful replies. I am following that.
    As you suggested,  I have added "BasicPasswordLoginModule" twice with two set of options ( LogonWithAlias true&false) under " basic"  Authentication template under  SAP-j2ee Engine Policy Configuration.
    What  Flags are to be set ? Can you tell me the difference between OPTIONAL, SUFFICIENT, REQUIRED,REQUISITE Flags.
    I have set as follows in the J2ee Visual Admin for the  "BASIC" Authentication Template :
    BasicPasswordLoginModule SUFFICIENT LogonWithAlias- true
    BasicPasswordLoginModule REQUIRED  LogonWithAlias- false
    But still it is not allowing me to login with user alias.

  • "Could not create renderer with alias..." after deploying ResourceRenderer

    Hello everybody
    I've developed a custom ResourceRenderer class that looks like this:
    package no.expert.portal.km.relateddocs;
    import com.sapportals.htmlb.Component;
    import com.sapportals.htmlb.Link;
    import com.sapportals.wcm.WcmException;
    import com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.resource.cm.ResourceRenderer;
    import com.sapportals.wcm.repository.IResource;
    public class RelatedDocsNamePropertyRenderer extends ResourceRenderer
         protected Component renderContentLink(com.sapportals.htmlb.Component comp) throws WcmException
              Link result = (Link) super.renderContentLink(comp);
              result.setTarget("");
              return result;
         protected Component renderContentLink(IResource resource, com.sapportals.htmlb.Component comp) throws WcmException
              Link result = (Link)super.renderContentLink(resource, comp);
              result.setTarget("");
              return result;
    All it does, really, is preventing links to documents in KM to open in a new window. At least that's what I'm hoping it will do, as it's based on ideas in <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=20316">this post</a>.
    I've added all the necessary .jar files, and implemented a wrapper portal service as described here: <a href="http://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/nw_kmc/ide/projects/Setting%20Up%20a%20KMC%20Project.html">http://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/nw_kmc/ide/projects/Setting%20Up%20a%20KMC%20Project.html</a>.
    I've created an alias for the class in <i>Content Management -> User Interface -> Mapping</i>, and assigned this to the resource renderer settings that I use.
    OK, here is where the trouble starts. When viewing the layout set with debugging on, I check <i>Rendering Information</i>. It informs me that <i>"The given configuration was not used, because the alias is not defined or points to an invalid java class"</i>. Looking in the log, this is the error message:

    Hi Gourab,
    Double check the the page.xml has referring to the correct CO. Open the page.xml and see which controller is attached to it.
    Also attach the extended controller through personalization to the page/Region.

  • What's up with "search"?

    I have tried to search this discussion area to find out what is happening with the "search" function in these forums, but don't see a discussion of my problem. If I want to search on a phrase, the instructions tell me to enclose that phrase in quotes, which has worked OK in the past. But not now. If I search using exactly this:
    "find process"
    I get a lot of results with the word "find" and the word "process" in them, but not the phrase "find process".
    What is up with this?
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    The terms find and process are very general, and can apply to many functions of OS X. Therefore the Search results will be numerous and widespread.
    Try using words that are more descriptive of the information you are looking for.
    The more terms you use, will narrow the field. See the example below.
    I also have noticed that, the "Quote A Phrase" function doesn't work as it used to, unless the phrase is quite lengthly. For example, an entire sentences can sometimes be found.
    For a shorter phrase, I have better luck with searching, if I use search terms in this format search++discussions.
    Which returns These Results.
    Searching for "I have tried to search this discussion area to find out what is happening" returns This.

  • I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad.  What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?

    I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad.  What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?

    Thanks.  The reason this has become an issue is that I recently bought a new Macbook Air that the iPad is not synced to.  The one is was synced to was stolen.  If I want to sync this iPad to the new Air, won't it be wiped before I'm able to copy these films or am I wrong about that?

  • What's wrong with my browsers?

    When i first got my macbook the internet was going really slow but then i changed the dns server to 4.2.2.2 and sometimes change it to 4.2.2.1 and the internet got better but now my browsers are acting funny.
    One moment i'm surfing webpages with safari or firefox.... Chatting with AdiumX or MS Messenger... and suddenly it just stops... Msn is getting time-out's, Safari says I'm not connected.
    But Airport sais it is still connected to my wireless network (with all the black bar's filled). It has valid IP adress etc, But everywhere I want to go on the internet it sais I'm not connected.
    When I disconnect the airport en let it reconnect with my wireless network, the connection is fine.
    how can i fix this?

    Most users shouldn't be manually entering DNS addresses, and those DNS addresses you mention probably aren't intended for end users. Is Level3 your ISP?
    That doesn't answer 'what's wrong with my browsers?', but a good start would be to configure your network according to your ISP's instructions. If you have DNS problems then, you might try using OpenDNS.

  • What's wrong with networking since Leopard?

    Hi,
    I'm with Mac since years. I was a PC User once and spent hours with all kinds of network troubles. What convinced me with Mac right in the beginning was easy networking: It just worked!
    But since Leopard things got worse: I have several MBP's, iMacs, Airport Extreme's and Airport Express's at different places which I installed, and I face the same problems at EVERY place:
    - I can't connect to AExtreme for several reasons: timeout, security incompatibility, ...
    - Sometimes only two Macs are allowed to connect to one AExtreme
    - Airport doesn't find Aiport or any other networks for minutes
    - After connecting to the router, can't get an IP (self-assigned IP only) - other PCs get an IP.
    - Aiport Extreme crashes (yellow blinking)
    - connection loss (even when AExtreme is very close)
    Now I know about networking, about configuration, I've done this for years. Whatever I do, problems disappear and appear again, at different times, at different places with different hardware.
    What is wrong with Leopard? Such problems remind me of times with Windows98 and stuff like that.

    What's wrong with networking since Leopard?
    on my network and many i have setup there have been no problems with leopard. However there are always teething problems with new operating systems. Thankfully with leopard only a tiny percentage of users experience technical difficulties.
    can't connect to AExtreme for several reasons: timeout, security incompatibility,
    is it set to use WPA/WPA2
    Airport doesn't find Aiport or any other networks for minutes
    sometimes my macbook pro takes a while to show up any networks if there are lots in the area this is because it is scanning them all.
    After connecting to the router, can't get an IP (self-assigned IP only) - other PCs get an IP.
    What kind of router are you using? What happens if you powercycle the router?
    # Aiport Extreme crashes (yellow blinking)
    # connection loss (even when AExtreme is very close)
    Have you tried resetting your AE to default. reinstalling its firmware or checking for a firmware update?
    Have you tried changing hte wireless channel your networ is broadcasting on?
    What is wrong with Leopard? Such problems remind me of times with Windows98 and stuff like that.
    Did you upgrade install your leopard installation or did you do clean (erase) installations?
    Have you tried created new network locations?

  • What's Wrong with My Computer?

    I have a G5 desktop computer, I believe it's referred to as a "Power Mac." My mom purchased it some years ago, I think in late 2005 shortly after this particular model was on the market.
    Info is:
    Version 10.5.8
    Processor 4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5
    Memory 4.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM
    Hard Drive 240 GB (127 GB unused/available)
    My mother wasn't using this computer for many years, and my 13" Macbook was giving me trouble, so she gave this one to me. It's all been great (she maxed out the memory and hard drive space when she bought it, even though it is outdated and insignificant compared to current models), except for one little thing... Browsing the internet is usually fine when it's only one window, but not always. However, it is almost a guarantee that while trying to operate multiple windows and trying to play a video, Safari will crash. And not just once in awhile. I'm talking about on a daily basis. During regular offline computer use, like Photoshop or iTunes, the computer will sometimes grey over (as if someone put a fairly thick grey film over the entire screen), and tell me I have to restart the computer. So what's wrong with it? I presume it is a physical issue (failing memory, mother board, etc.), but what?

    Your computer is not remotely "maxed out" with RAM.
    You're describing a G5 Quad like mine (though mine was built in June of 2006), and maxed out means having 16 GB of RAM installed, like mine has.
    The Frolick wrote:
    …the computer will sometimes grey over (as if someone put a fairly thick grey film over the entire screen), and tell me I have to restart the computer. So what's wrong with it?…
    That's called a Kernel Panic, and, yes, it is most often caused by hardware problems, such as bad RAM or mismatched RAM.  I can't imagine how you get to 4.5 GB of RAM without exponentially increasing the risk of mismatched RAM.
    RAM has to be installed in matched pairs, starting from the center slots and spreading outward: 4*3*2*1*1*2*3*4
    On the other hand, my own personal experience has led me to conclude that Safari is a piece of cr@p.  It causes problems just being active in the background, causing other applications to fail.
    Check your RAM carefully, starting with just one pair of matched RAM sticks in the two center slots, then adding one pair at a time.  Check your hard disk with Apple's Disk Utility.
    The kernel panics can be caused by a damaged directory too, so if you own Disk Warrior, run it.  If you don't own DiskWarrior, at least Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility and use Verify Disk/Repair Disk with it.
    I'd also recommend downloading and installing Applejack and run it according to the instructions.
    Good luck.

  • What's wrong with my iPod's Cover Flow??

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen, 32Gb, and recently updated to IOS 5.
    Since then, the iPod's cover flow feature is extremely slow, doesn't flow smoothly, and crashes after a few (15-20) seconds.
    Today I noted something else: some album covers appear pixelated and blurry, even though HD. Those covers looked just fine until now.
    As a side note, I have in use 30 of the 32 Gb (that's a lot of music, I know). Could this be related? I never had those problems before IOS 5, though.
    What's wrong with my iPod?
    Thanks for your help!

    so as I see it people with this problem have 3 options
    - Make all of your album art a maximum of 500X500 pixels
    - Wait for an IOS update that fixes the problem
    - Scrap ipods and buy another brand of music player
    Using photoshop to do it with, it took me about an hour to resize, change, and resync all of my 1400 songs(86 albums)

    What's wrong with my Final Cut Pro 7.03?
    I have just started up a new project.
    Every time I try to ad a clip in top of each other a "general error" shows up. The sequence viewer turned red and it displays that I have to close and reopen the window to restore.
    The only "new thing" I do - is the use/brand of camera.
    Now I use the canon D5 mark 3 for my project (before D5 mark 2)
    What's wrong??? Do I need to update my Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 And how do I do this???
    Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    Did you use Log & Import?  Or did you at least convert the D5 files before importing?  FCP doesn't work with those files natively.

    If you have a frame labelled "2" then it should be:

  • I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square but never downloads.

    I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up with a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
    I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
    I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
    P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.

    What's happening with my 2ndGen AEX at night? Pings sometimes go over 1000ms!
    My Airport Extreme is perfect all day but sometimes late at night my ping goes over 1000ms. Wired or Wifi is the same. There's no rhyme or reason as to when it happens either. Random times and random nights (sometimes several nights in a row, other times not for week or more). Resetting doesn't help, but If I go direct to the modem, pings are around 15-30ms... normal for me. It's been a problem for me for a while now, and I'm not sure if its the latest firmware update that did it. I first noticed it playing my Xbox 360 sometime last summer or fall. The ping times will suddenly (usually around midnight or 1am) be so high that I can't play any multiplayer games.  I go to speedtest.net and my ping is anywhere from 500ms to 1118ms is the highest I've seen. If I reset the router, it is fine for a couple minutes and then right back to to the high pings. As I said, the modem is fine when I go direct, so something is causing the Airport Extreme to have trouble. It's not the XB360, cause it also happens with my XB1 and only at night. I play during the day, as well, and have no troubles.
    I believe that there are certain programs that can cause this, like Vuze, but this only ever happens when everyone in the house is in bed, and both mine and my wife's laptops will be asleep.  I do have a Mac Mini connected to another TV in the house, but the only thing it should be doing at that hour is its hourly Time Machine backup to a USB drive plugged directly into it. I do have a network drive attached to the AEX, but I only use that for manual backups for our laptops, neither of which is being done when this occurs. My wife and I also each have an iPad (the 2 and an Air) and an iPhone 5.  Could they somehow be causing this? Maybe an automated iCloud backup occuring at night? Although, I use several devices on my network all day long without this kind of thing happening so I don't know why that would cause this kind of problem. Just to round out my collection, I have to older Airport Expresses as well to extend the network and are mostly used for the audio out.

    Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
    Step 1
    Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved.
    Step 2
    From the menu bar, select
    System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
    Step 3
    Reset the SMC.
    Step 4
    Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
    Step 5
    Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
    Step 6
    If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
    If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.
